Introductions may be in order

Hello world, I am Hanny and what you are reading here is my very first blogpost.

This makes me feel proud and scared at the same time. Like a shiny new notebook you're afraid to write in because it's blankness is glaring right in your face.

Ah well, like the Dutch saying goes "All beginnings are hard", so I guess the whole "first blogpost thing" is supposed to feel a bit awkward.  I am from the Netherlands myself by the way. And most times I'm actually quite proud of my heritage too.

Well, telling you I'm Dutch isn't really saying anything about me now is it? I suppose I could tell a bit more about myself, you already know my name and the country I'm from so let's just continue from there.

This drawing is a fairly accurate depiction of me:

At this moment I'm 21 years old, which officialy makes me an adult in every sense of the word. I still like to think I'm not quite there yet though, there's something appealing to being a child that I can't seem to let go of yet. That, and I think I could still use some growth and reflection before I can honestly call myself a grown-up. Which brings me to my following point; I'm a short little bugger, I'm exactly 159 centimetres tall.

 As a person, I'm generally a cheerful geekish girl. I'm told I can be quite funny, but only when I'm not trying. I'm also told that I'm very creative and imaginative, which I believe are wonderful compliments and good traits to have. The downside of those traits is that I'm also very chaotic and tend to be a wee bit unlogical (okay fine, very unlogical). I like to say that my mind just works differently from others. I also happen to be quite dreamy and clumsy (not the best combination), to the annoyance and hilarity of my direct surroundings. I'm also quite lucky though, which -according to friends- is the sole reason I'm still alive.
They reckon that without my luck I would be dead within a day.

As you might have guessed, there's a lot more to me than that. I also happen to like and dislike a whole world of things, but I won't go into detail over that now. What you must know of me right now are the bare neccesities, which brings me to the following subject;

My motives.

Why the hell am I starting a blog, and what the flying fart will I blog about?
The first question is not all that hard to answer, I'm starting this blog for the following reasons.

Number one: I want to improve my English writing skills.
As you may have noticed by now, my native tongue is not English. I do however, want to spend time and care becoming actually great at it. This is one reason for me to start this whole thing.

Number two: I like writing.
Simple as that, I just want to write and I think the best way to do this is to bravely expose yourself on the internet.

Number three: I think people will enjoy what I write.
I know this may sound like a bunch of self absorbed bullshit, but if I thought my blog would only make people want to punch themselves in the face, I wouldn't be starting to begin with.

The second question is a bit harder to answer, because I'm not starting this blog with a certain topic in mind. You can safely assume that this blog will be about me, about daily events, things I like/don't like and about things that interest me. The only certain thing about this blog is that it will mostly be about me and my life.

Well, this settles for the introduction part. I do hope I have piqued your interests. If not, don't hesitate to come back later and see if other posts will.

Oh and before I forget,
Happy Newyear to everyone, I hope this first day was a good one!
